The goal of my research is to understand how the orchestration of neuronal integration processes are taking place at the network level with a specific interest in neuronal oscillations.

Short Bio

I was originally trained in neurophysiology at University Paris XI Orsay. After obtaining the Master in Cognitive Sciences of Paris in 2003, I completed my PhD at Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2009, supervised by Olaf Blanke. My thesis examined visual processing using EEG and clinical approaches in collaboration with Christoph Michel at the Geneva University Hopsital. I then worked as a post-doctoral research fellow with John Foxe and
Sophie Molholm at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (New York, USA). There I studied the role of neuronal oscillations on multisensory integration using ECoG and EEG. Next, I worked with Fred Lado and Ashesh
Mehta to develop multimodal tools for human intracranial investigations (electrophysiology, electrical stimulatiion, fMRI, TEP). Thanks to David Groppe, this collaborative framework is being materialized through the release of an open source toolbox for localizing and visualizing human intracranial data.
